battery gauge not consistent?

[Rossatron]

hey,

the battery gauge on my rMBP just can't make up it's mind. say the the gauge says i have another hour, but when i check it again (after couple of minutes) it says i have 1:33 hours. and when i check again, it says 57 minutes
how do i solve this?
thanks in advance

Set it to percent.

The battery time indicator is fluctuating as it is dependent on current CPU usage.

This is very true. Also because of the fluctuating processes, this makes the battery gauge a tad inaccurate I'd suggest using the battery percentage as more of a guide as to when you need to plug up.

Be more consistent in the power demands of your usage.
